Summary:
The city of San Ygnacio, Texas has only one school, Benavides Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Zapata County Independent School District (ISD). Benavides Elementary has a total enrollment of 61 students, all of whom are Hispanic, and the school district is ranked 600 out of 968 in Texas with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Benavides Elementary's academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's 5th grade reading and mathematics proficiency rates are higher than the district and state, its 3rd and 4th grade reading proficiency rates are significantly lower. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (88.52%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, Benavides Elementary spends $11,631 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, suggesting a relatively high level of resources and support for students.
Overall, the analysis of Benavides Elementary reveals both strengths and areas for improvement. The school's academic performance is variable, and it serves a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. While the school appears to have a relatively high level of funding and resources, further investigation would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance and identify opportunities for targeted interventions and support.
